Dm                                           F
Across a painted desert lies a train of vagabonds

Dm                                                  F
All that’s left of what we were it’s what we have become

Dm                                              F
Once our empires glorious but now the empire’s gone

Dm                                                     F
The dead gave us the time to live and now our time is done
[Pre-Chorus]
C                         Dm
Now we are victorious we’ve become our slaves

Bb                                  C
A land of hope and glory building graveyards for the brave
[Chorus]

Dm                                      F
Holding on to jury is that all we ever know

Dm                                             F
Ignorance our judge and jury all we’ve got to show

      C                           G
From Hollywood to Babylon ~ holy war to kingdom come

       Dm                                               F
On a trail of dust and ashes ~ when the burning sky is done
[Pre-Chorus]
   C                            Dm
A tide of change is coming and that is what you fear

The earthquake is a coming but you don’t want to hear
You’re just too blind to see [Chorus]
